Marlene Burrows Obituary

Marlene Anne Webber

Nov 29, 2024

Elyria

On Friday, the 29th of November, I was taken from my earthly body home to be with the Lord. My daughter was lovingly holding my hand.

I was greeted by my two loving sons, Tommy and Chris, who preceded me in death.

I was born Marlene Anne Burrows to my parents, Anne and Sterling Burrows. I had one brother, Thomas Burrows, from Clarksfield, Ohio.

I attended New London High School and was a majorette all 4 years. I graduated with the class of 1959.

I met my husband and the love of my life, Thomas, at Carolyn Theater, which my parents owned. We married Nov. 9, 1963. We made our home and raised our family in Elyria until moving to Clarksfield in 1990. We finally settled back to Elyria in 2016.

Together we had three loving children, Tommy, Chris and Holly (Fry). I loved my family with my heart and soul.

I absolutely loved gardening and flowers. I made many crafts and flower arrangements. That's all I wanted to do. I made decorating for every holiday a sport. I made my family's Christmas, Halloween and birthdays so special. I retired as a correctional officer at the sheriff's office but was best known as a loving mother and homemaker.

I had six loving grandchildren. Tommy had Kyle and Taylor Webber. Chris had Bobby and Megan Webber. Holly has Tiffany and Justin Eastman. Everyone enjoyed my farm home, it was my passion. I also had three great-grandchildren, Jaxon Webber, Kyler Shays, and Rex Webber. I want to be remembered lovingly as a great person, a wonderful mom, and the best wife. My family will share stories and all my decorations for years to come. Until we meet again, live life to the fullest, make memories, and love life. I would like to thank the staff at The Laurels of New London for my exceptional care. I was loved and spoiled.

A private celebration of life will be at a later date.
